This series imagines spaghettification as a physical, human response. I was drawn to the phenomenon of spaghettification because I felt emotional and political resonance. In this series, my figures (predominantly women) exist under violent, invisible gravitational fields. Their bodies elongate, expand, and fold beyond the limits of the canvas, as if space itself cannot contain the pressure acting upon them. The force is external and systemic— social expectations, inherited violence, gendered power structures, historical weight.

 

Through Spaghettification, I reflect on how we are constantly negotiating forces larger than ourselves and how systems compress us while we strive to expand. And perhaps that is the true gravitational force I am interested in: not one that pulls us apart, but one that holds us together.
